==Generalizations of Hilbert's fourth problem== There was found the correspondence between the planar ''n''-dimensional Finsler metrics and special symplectic forms on the Grassmann manifold <math>G(n+1,2)</math> в <math>E^{n+1}</math>.<ref>{{cite journal | last1=Álvarez Paiva | first1=J. C. | title=Sympletic geometry and Hilbert fourth problem | journal=Journal of Differential Geometry | volume=69 | issue=2 | date=2005 | pages=353–378 | doi=10.4310/jdg/1121449109 | doi-access=free}}</ref> There were considered periodic solutions of Hilbert's fourth problem : # Let (''M'', ''g'') be a compact locally Euclidean Riemannian manifold. Suppose that <math>C^2</math> Finsler metric on ''M'' with the same geodesics as in the metric ''g'' is given. Then the Finsler metric is the sum of a locally Minkovski metric and a closed 1-form.<ref name="Paiva2018">{{cite journal | last1=Álvarez Paiva | first1=J. C. | last2=Barbosa Gomes | first2=J. | title=Periodic Solutions of Hilbert fourth problem | journal=Journal of Topology and Analysis | arxiv=1809.02783 | date=2018 | doi=10.1142/S1793525321500576| s2cid=240026741 }}</ref> # Let (''M'', ''g'') be a compact symmetric Riemannian space of rank greater than one. If ''F'' is a symmetric <math>C^2</math> Finsler metric whose geodesics coincide with geodesics of the Riemannian metric ''g'', then (''M'', ''g'') is a symmetric Finsler space.<ref name="Paiva2018"/> The analogue of this theorem for rank-one symmetric spaces has not been proven yet. Another exposition of Hilbert's fourth problem can be found in work of Paiva.<ref>{{cite journal | last1=Álvarez Paiva | first1=J.
